TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to optical laminated members.

BACKGROUND ART

Displays are used in a wide variety of fields such as computers, televisions, cellular phones, portable information terminal devices (tablet personal computers, mobile devices, electronic notebooks, etc.), and automobile display panels such as digital meters, instrument panels, navigation devices, console panels, center clusters and heater control panels. In many of such displays, an antiglare (AG) layer, which roughens the surface of a display, is provided on the display surface. By providing an antiglare layer on the surface of a display, it is possible to irregularly reflect external light by irregularities on the surface of the antiglare layer and thereby blur the contour of an image reflected on the display surface. This makes it possible to reduce the visibility of the reflected image on the display surface and to eliminate obstacles to screen visibility due to reflection of the reflected image at the time of using the display.

Displays like those mentioned above (e.g., a liquid crystal display) commonly have an image display unit and an image non-display unit. For example, when a display is incorporated in another peripheral member and an antiglare layer is provided on the display surface, some methods for forming the antiglare layer will allow the antiglare layer to be formed on both an image display unit and an image non-display unit. On the other hand, in many automobile display panels or the like, their image non-display units have a deep color such as black for reasons such as exuding a sense of high quality while maintaining a sense of unity with other automobile interior peripheral members. In automobile display panels, forming an antiglare layer also in a deep color part that is an image non-display unit may reduce a glossy feeling and a sense of high quality of the deep color part.

JP2014-41244 A (Patent Literature 1) discloses that a laminated film for molding characterized in that a hard coat layer having a crack elongation of 5% or more and a low refractive index layer having a refractive index of 1.47 or less are provided in this order on a substrate film. This laminated film for molding is described as having a lower luminous reflectance, a reduced reflection of external light or a reduced sense of glare as well as a reduced whitishness and a high transmittance. On the other hand, the laminate film for molding disclosed in Patent Literature 1 fails to provide both the antiglare performance required in the image display unit of a display (for example, a liquid crystal display) and the design property required in the image non-display unit.

JP2015-57655 A (Patent Literature 2) discloses an antiglare hard coat film having an antiglare hard coat layer containing fine particles on at least one side of a transparent plastic film substrate. With regard to the antiglare hard coat film, the total haze value of the antiglare hard coat film and the surface roughness of the antiglare hard coat layer are required to be within specific ranges. This antiglare hard coat film is described as having an extremely low haze and a superior antiglare property, preventing white blur, and being superior in blackness at the time of black display. On the other hand, like Patent Literature 1, this antiglare hard coat film also fails to provide both the antiglare performance required in the image display unit of a display and the design property required in the image non-display unit.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The optical laminated member of the present invention is a member in which an antiglare hard coat layer and a clear hard coat layer are sequentially laminated on at least one side of a transparent polymer substrate. This is characterized in that the antiglare hard coat layer is a cured layer of a coating composition for forming an antiglare layer and has continuous random irregularities on its surface,

The “continuous random irregularities” on the surface of an antiglare hard coat layer referred to herein means a bumpy shape that is a continuous irregular bumpy shape having a size large enough to exhibit antiglare performance and is formed through the application and the curing of a coating composition. That is, the surface irregularities of the antiglare hard coat layer in the present invention are not intended to have a regular surface shape that is formed by, for example, a cutting method.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an optical laminated member of the present invention. As schematically shown in FIG. 1, in an optical laminated member 1 of the present invention, an antiglare hard coat layer 3 is laminated on at least one side of a transparent polymer substrate 5. Then, a clear hard coat layer 7 is laminated on a part of the antiglare hard coat layer 3. Configurations, etc. will be described in detail below.

Transparent Polymer Substrate

Examples of the transparent polymer substrate to be used in the present invention include substrates made of transparent polymers such as films of polycarbonate, films of polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate; films of cellulose, such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose; and films of acrylic substance, such as polymethyl methacrylate. Examples of the transparent polymer substrate in the present invention also include substrates made of transparent polymers such as films of styrene-based substances, such as polystyrene and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers; films of olefin-based substances such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefins having a cyclic or norbornene structure, and ethylene-propylene copolymers; and films of amide-based substances such as nylon and aromatic polyamides.

Furthermore, examples of the transparent polymer substrate to be used in the present invention also include substrates made of transparent polymers such as polyimide, polysulfone, polyether sulfone, polyether ether ketone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl butyral, polyallylate, polyoxymethylene, epoxy resins, and blends of these polymers.

Further, the transparent polymer substrate may be a laminate of a plurality of substrates made of transparent polymers. For example, the transparent polymer substrate may be a laminate of a film of an acrylic resin and a film of a polycarbonate-based resin or a laminate of sheets.

As the transparent polymer substrate in the present invention, a substrate with low optical birefringence, a substrate with a phase difference controlled to ¼ of a wavelength (e.g., 550 nm), i.e., λ/4, or ½ of a wavelength, i.e., λ/2, or a substrate with uncontrolled birefringence can be selected from polymer substrates according to the use of the optical laminated member.

The thickness of the transparent polymer substrate can be appropriately chosen according to the use of the optical laminated member, the method of processing the member, etc. In general, in view of strength and workability such as handleability, the thickness may be about 10 μm to 5000 μm, in one embodiment 20 μm to 3000 μm, and in another embodiment 30 μm to 3000 μm.

Antiglare Hard Coat Layer

The optical laminated member of the present invention has an antiglare hard coat layer on at least one side of a transparent polymer substrate. The antiglare hard coat layer is formed by applying a coating composition for forming an antiglare layer on at least one side of a transparent polymer substrate and then curing it. The antiglare hard coat layer is a layer having irregularities on its surface. By having irregularities on the surface, the performance of preventing reflection of the background on the layer surface is exhibited.

In the optical laminated member of the present invention, the antiglare hard coat layer has a thickness (film thickness) of 1 μm to 10 μm.

Based on the condition that the thickness of the antiglare hard coat layer is within the above range, the smoothness of the coating film is improved and the antiglare performance is reduced in the part where the clear hard coat layer is provided on the antiglare hard coat layer. This leads to the advantage that it is possible to effectively recover a mirror surface feeling, a glossy feeling, etc. in the part where the clear hard coat layer is provided on the antiglare hard coat layer. When the thickness (film thickness) of the antiglare hard coat layer exceeds 10 μm, the smoothness of the coating film may not improve in the part where the clear hard coat layer is provided on the antiglare hard coat layer, and the antiglare performance reduction effect may not be obtained. In addition, when the thickness (film thickness) of the antiglare hard coat layer is less than 1 μm, sufficient antiglare performance may not be exhibited by the antiglare hard coat layer.

In this specification, the thickness of the antiglare hard coat layer is determined by measuring the thickness of the layer at 10 concave portions and 10 convex portions and calculating the average value thereof. The film thickness can be measured by precipitating a cross section using an instrument such as a microtome and observing the cross section with a laser microscope.

The antiglare hard coat layer has a ten-point average roughness Rz_(JIS) of the layer surface within the range of 0.1 μm to 2 μm. Here, the “ten-point average roughness Rz_(JIS)” is a kind of parameter that indicates the bumpy shape (roughness shape) of the surface defined in Appendix JA of JIS B0601; 2001. The ten-point average roughness Rz_(JIS) is the sum total of the average of the peak heights of from the highest mountain peak (projection) to the fifth highest peak and the average of the valley depths of from the deepest valley (recess) to the fifth deepest valley, in a roughness curve with a reference length obtained by applying a cut-off value phase compensation band pass filter. The ten-point average roughness Rz_(JIS) can be determined, for example, by using a laser microscope in accordance with the provision of JIS B0601; 2001.

In the antiglare hard coat layer, the average length RSm of the roughness curve element of the layer surface may be 20 μm to 200 μm. Here, the “average length RSm of the roughness curve element” is a kind of parameter that indicates the size and the distribution of the bumpy shape (roughness shape) of the surface defined in JIS B0601; 2001. The average length RSm of the roughness curve element means the average length of the contour curve (roughness curve) element at the reference length. The average length RSm of the roughness curve element is determined by using a laser microscope (for example, VK-8700 produced by KEYENCE) in accordance with the provision of JIS B0601; 2001.

The antiglare hard coat layer has a haze value Ha of 2% to 45% and an internal haze value Hi of 0.01% to 2%. Based on the condition that the haze value Ha is within the above range, the antiglare performance required in the display unit is exhibited. Based on the condition that the internal haze value Hi is within the above range, it is possible to obtain a design superior in glossy feeling and sense of high quality in the part where the clear hard coat is laminated on the antiglare hard coat layer.

Here, the “haze value Ha” is the haze value of the entire antiglare hard coat layer including the bumpy shape of its surface, that is, the total haze value. In addition, the “internal haze value Hi” is a haze value that is not affected by the bumpy shape of the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer, and is a haze value derived from the component itself constituting the layer. The haze value Ha and the internal haze value Hi can be measured by a method in accordance with JIS K7136 using a haze meter (NDH 2000, produced by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.). Specifically, the haze value Ha (total haze value) of the antiglare hard coat layer is measured in accordance with JIS K7136 using a haze meter.

Thereafter, 0.01 ml of glycerin is dropped onto the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer, and then a glass plate is placed thereon. As a result, the bumpy shape of the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer is crushed, so that the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer is flattened. The internal haze value Hi can be obtained by measuring the haze value in this state in accordance with JIS K7136 using a haze meter.

Coating Composition for Forming Antiglare Layer

The coating composition for forming an antiglare layer to be used for forming an antiglare hard coat layer may be a radiation-curable coating composition for forming an antiglare layer from, for example, the viewpoint that superior hardness can be obtained. In one embodiment, the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer to be used for forming an antiglare hard coat layer may be an ultraviolet-curable coating composition for forming an antiglare layer.

The radiation-curable coating composition for forming an antiglare layer contains a resin component for forming a coating layer. As such a resin component, a radiation-curable component may be contained. The radiation-curable component is a monomer, oligomer, or polymer that can be crosslinked and cured by radiation (e.g., ultraviolet rays). Specific examples of such a radiation-curable component include a monomer, oligomer or polymer having at least one unsaturated double bond group. More specifically, a (meth)acrylate monomer, a (meth)acrylate oligomer, a (meth)acrylate polymer, a urethane (meth)acrylate monomer, a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, a urethane (meth)acrylate polymer, which each have at least one unsaturated double bond group, as well as modified monomers, oligomers, and polymers thereof are indicated. Here, “(meth)acrylate” means acrylate and/or methacrylate.

From the viewpoint that the crosslinking density after curing can be increased, the effect of improving surface hardness can be enhanced and the effect of improving transparency can be enhanced, the radiation-curable component in the present invention may contain at least one species selected from polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds and polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate compounds, such as polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds including polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomers, polyfunctional (meth)acrylate oligomers or polyfunctional (meth)acrylate polymers; and polyfunctional urethane (meth) acrylate compounds including polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate monomers, polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomers and polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate polymers.

One embodiment of the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer is an embodiment where the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer contains a first component and a second component. In this case, the surface irregularities of the antiglare hard coat layer are surface irregularities formed by the phase separation of the first component and the second component. The combination of the first component and the second component that generate the above-mentioned phase separation may be an embodiment where the SP value of the first component (SP₁) and the SP value of the second component (SP₂) satisfy the following conditions:

SP₂<SP₁

SP₁−SP₂≥0.5.

In one embodiment, a hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer containing a first component and a second component satisfying the above conditions is applied to a substrate, the first component and the second component undergo phase separation based on the difference in SP value of the first component and the second component. Thus, a coating film having continuous random irregularities on a surface thereof can be formed.

The SP value is an abbreviation of solubility parameter and is a measure of solubility. The larger the SP value, the higher the polarity, while the smaller the value thereof, the lower the polarity.

For example, the SP value can be measured by the following method [reference: SUH, CLARKE, J.P.S.A-1, 5, 1671-1681 (1967)].

Measurement Temperature: 20° C.

A sample: 0.5 g of resin is weighed in a 100 ml beaker, 10 ml of a good solvent is added with a volumetric pipette, and the sample is dissolve with a magnetic stirrer.

Solvent:

Good solvent . . . dioxane, acetone, etc.

Poor solvent . . . n-hexane, ion exchanged water, etc.

Clouding point measurement: A poor solvent is dropped using a 50 ml burette, and the point at which turbidity occurs is taken as the amount of dripping.

The SP value δ of resin is given by the following equations.

δ=(V _(ml) ^(1/2)δ_(ml) +V _(mh) ^(1/2)δ_(mh))/(V _(ml) ^(1/2) +V _(mh) ^(1/2))  [Expression 1]

V _(m) =V ₁ V ₂/(ϕ₁ V ₂+ϕ₂ V ₁)  [Expression 2]

δ_(m)=ϕ₁δ₁+ϕ₂δ₂  [Expression 3]

Vi: the molecular volume of the solvent (ml/mol)

φi: the volume fraction of each solvent at the clouding point

δi: the SP value of the solvent

ml: low SP poor solvent mixed system

mh: high SP poor solvent mixed system

In one embodiment, the difference between the SP value of the first component and the SP value of the second component is 0.5 or more, for example, the difference is 0.8 or more. The upper limit of the difference in SP value is not particularly limited, but it is generally 15 or less. When the difference between the SP value of the first component and the SP value of the second component is 0.5 or more, the compatibility of the components is low, whereby phase separation between the first component and the second component is expected to occur after the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer is coated.

In this embodiment, the above-described radiation-curable component may be used as the first component. In addition, an unsaturated double bond-containing acrylic copolymer may be used as the second component.

As the first component, a monomer, oligomer or polymer having at least one unsaturated double bond group may be used. Specific examples of the first component include a (meth)acrylate monomer, a (meth)acrylate oligomer, a (meth)acrylate polymer, a urethane (meth)acrylate monomer, a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, and a urethane (meth)acrylate polymer, which each have at least one unsaturated double bond group, and modified monomers, oligomers or polymers thereof. The first component may contain at least one species selected from polyfunctional (meth)acrylate compounds and polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate compounds, such as a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer, a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate oligomer, a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate polymer, a polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate monomer, a polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, and a polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate polymer. Including such a compound leads to the advantage that the crosslinking density after curing can be increased and the effect of increasing surface hardness can be enhanced.

The (meth)acrylate monomer, the urethane (meth)acrylate monomer, the (meth)acrylate oligomer, and the urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer may have a weight-average molecular weight of less than 5,000. For example, the (meth)acrylate monomer and the urethane (meth)acrylate monomer may have a molecular weight of 70 or more and a weight-average molecular weight of less than 3000. In one embodiment, the (meth)acrylate monomer and the urethane (meth)acrylate monomer may have a molecular weight of 70 or more and a weight-average molecular weight of less than 2500. The (meth)acrylate oligomer and the urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer may have a weight-average molecular weight of 100 or more and less than 5000. The (meth)acrylate polymer and the urethane (meth)acrylate polymer may have a weight-average molecular weight of less than 50,000.

Examples of the unsaturated double bond-containing acrylic copolymer, which is the second component, include products prepared by adding a component having an unsaturated double bond and another functional group, such as acrylic acid and glycidyl acrylate, to a resin produced by copolymerizing a (meth)acrylic monomer with another monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, a resin produced by reacting a (meth)acrylic monomer with another monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and an epoxy group, a resin produced by reacting a (meth)acrylic monomer with another monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and an isocyanate group, or the like. Such unsaturated double bond-containing acrylic copolymers may be used singly, or two or more species thereof may be used in combination. The unsaturated double bond-containing acrylic copolymer may have a weight-average molecular weight of 3,000 to 100,000, and in some embodiment 3,000 to 50,000.

The mass ratio of the first component to the second component, the first component:the second component, may be 98.5:1.5 to 60:40, in one embodiment, the mass ratio may be 98.5:1.5 to 85:15. In some embodiment, the mass ratio may be 98:2 to 86:14. By setting the combining ratio to within such a range, it is possible to obtain an antiglare hard coat layer having a desired surface bumpy shape and a desired hardness. Moreover, forming the surface bumpy shape by phase separation between the first component and the second component leads to the advantage that the internal haze value Hi can be designed to a lower value.

In another embodiment of the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer, the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer contains the above-described radiation-curable component and a particulate material.

Such inorganic oxide particles and organic resin particles may have an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 8 μm, and in one embodiment, an average particle diameter of 0.7 to 6 μm. The average particle diameter of the particulate material referred to herein is a value measured using image processing software from an image taken with a cross-sectional electron microscope.

Another embodiment of the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer may be an embodiment where a polymerizable unsaturated group-containing binder component is contained. The coating composition for forming an antiglare layer containing the polymerizable unsaturated group-containing binder component can be used in the procedure in which a bumpy surface of a mold base having a bumpy shape on its surface is brought into surface contact with an uncured coating layer formed by applying the composition;

subsequently, the uncured coating layer is cured with the mold base being kept in surface contact; and then the mold base is removed to form the antiglare hard coat layer.

The hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer to be used in the present invention may contain a solvent. The solvent is not particularly limited and may be selected appropriately in consideration of the components contained in the composition, the type of the substrate to be coated, the method of applying the composition, etc. Specific examples of solvents that can be used include aromatic solvents such as toluene and xylene; ketone solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; ether solvents such as diethyl ether, isopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, anisole and phenetole; ester solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isopropyl acetate and ethylene glycol diacetate; amide solvents such as dimethylformamide, diethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone; cellosolve solvents such as methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve and butyl cellosolve; alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol and isobutyl alcohol; and halogen-containing solvents such as dichloromethane and chloroform.

In one embodiment, of these solvents, ester solvents, ether solvents, alcohol solvents and ketone solvents may be used.

To the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer of the present invention may be added various additives, if necessary. Examples of such additives include conventional additives such as antistatic agents, plasticizers, surfactants, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, surface conditioners, and leveling agents.

The hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer can be prepared by a method commonly practiced by those skilled in the art. For example, it can be prepared by mixing the above-described components by using a commonly used mixing device such as a paint shaker and a mixer.

Formation of Antiglare Hard Coat Layer

In one embodiment of the present invention, the antiglare hard coat layer is formed by applying the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer onto a transparent polymer substrate. The method of applying the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer may be appropriately selected according to the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer and the situation of the application step. For example, the hard coating composition may be applied by a dip coating method, an air knife coating method, a curtain coating method, a roller coating method, a wire bar coating method, a die coating method, an inkjet method, a gravure coating method, or an extrusion coating method (U.S. Pat. No. 2,681,294).

The antiglare hard coat layer is formed by curing the coating film obtained by the application of the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer. This curing can be performed by irradiation using a light source that emits radiation (active energy rays) with a required wavelength. As the radiation to be irradiated, for example, light having an integral dose of 50 mJ/cm² to 1,500 mJ/cm² can be used. The wavelength of the irradiation light is not particularly limited and, for example, ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 360 nm or less can be used. Such light can be obtained by using a high pressure mercury lamp, an extra-high pressure mercury lamp or the like.

In the present invention, in one embodiment, the antiglare hard coat layer include the embodiment in which the antiglare hard coat layer is a cured layer of the above-described hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer containing the first component and the second component. In this embodiment, the antiglare hard coat layer comes to have a surface bumpy shape formed by the phase separation between the first component and the second component. Therefore, the haze derived from the layer-forming components in the antiglare hard coat layer (i.e., internal haze) can be designed to be low. This leads to the advantage that the haze value is effectively reduced in the part where the clear hard coat layer is provided on the antiglare hard coat layer and a mirror surface feeling, a glossy feeling, etc. can be effectively enhanced.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a coating composition for forming an antiglare layer containing a polymerizable unsaturated group-containing binder component is applied, then a mold base having a bumpy shape on a surface thereof is brought into surface contact with the resulting uncured coating layer. Then, the mold base is removed, and thus an antiglare hard coat layer on a surface of which a bumpy shape has been formed is formed. In another embodiment of the above embodiment may be, for example, an embodiment in which a coating composition for forming an antiglare layer containing a polymerizable unsaturated group-containing binder component is applied, then the resulting uncured coating layer is cured with a mold base having a bumpy shape on a surface thereof being kept in surface contact with the uncured coating layer. Then the mold base is removed, and thus the antiglare hard coat layer is formed. In this embodiment, the bumpily shaped surface of the mold base is brought into surface contact oppositely with a surface of the uncured coating layer, then the uncured coating layer is cured in the surface contact state, so that a bumpy shape is transferred, and thus a bumpy shape is formed on the surface of the layer. After the curing, the mold base is removed, whereby an antiglare hard coat layer having continuous random irregularities on a surface thereof can be formed. In this embodiment, the applying method and the curing method of the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer may be carried out by the same procedures as those described above.

This embodiment has the advantage that it is possible to form an antiglare hard coat layer having a high hardness while having a bumpy shape on its surface.

As the mold base, a mold base having continuous random irregularities on its surface can be used without limitations. In one embodiment, a base having a layer having a bumpy shape on its surface obtained via the application and curing of the above-described hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer may be used as the mold base.

Clear Hard Coat Layer

The optical laminated member of the present invention has a clear heart coat layer laminated on a part of the antiglare hard coat layer. The clear hard coat layer is a cured layer of the clear hard coating composition. In the present invention, the clear hard coat layer is required to have a thickness of 0.01 μm to 10 μm.

In the present invention, the clear hard coat layer is laminated on a part of the antiglare hard coat layer. That is, the optical laminated member of the present invention has, on its surface, a part where antiglare performance is exhibited (a part where no clear hard coat layer is provided on the antiglare hard coat layer), and

a part where antiglare performance is not exhibited or is reduced (a part where a clear hard coat layer is provided on the antiglare hard coat layer). In the optical laminated member of the present invention, the haze value Hm of the part where the clear hard coat layer is laminated on the antiglare hard coat layer is 0.05% to 20%, and Ha and Hm satisfy the following formulas:

5≤(Ha−Hm)/Ha×100≤99.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that by laminating a clear hard coat layer on a part of an antiglare hard coat layer having specific physical property values, it is possible to effectively reduce and control the haze value of the part where the clear hard coat layer is provided.

The haze value Hm of the part where the clear hard coat layer is laminated on the antiglare hard coat layer can be measured by a method in accordance with JIS K7136 using a haze meter (NDH 2000, produced by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.). Specifically, it can be determined by measuring the haze value Hm (total haze value) of the part where the clear hard coat layer is laminated on the antiglare hard coat layer by a method in accordance with JIS K7136 using a haze meter.

In one embodiment, the value of (Ha−Hm)/Ha×100 may be 15 or more and 98 or less, and in some embodiment, the value may be 20 or more and 98 or less.

The clear heat hard coat layer is formed by applying a clear hard coating composition onto a part of the antiglare hard coat layer and then curing it. In one embodiment, the clear hard coating composition may contain the radiation-curable component, the photopolymerization initiator, and the solvent as required. As the radiation-curable component contained in the clear hard coating composition, in one embodiment, at least one monomer, oligomer, or polymer having at least one unsaturated double bond group may be contained.

Examples of the monomer having at least one unsaturated double bond group include the above-mentioned (meth)acrylate monomer and the above-mentioned urethane (meth)acrylate monomer. Examples of the oligomer having at least one unsaturated double bond group include the above-mentioned (meth)acrylate oligomer and the above-mentioned urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer. Examples of the polymer having at least one unsaturated double bond group include the above-mentioned (meth)acrylate polymer and the above-mentioned urethane (meth)acrylate polymer. In one embodiment, the radiation-curable component contained in the clear hard coating composition contains at least one species selected from the above-mentioned polyfunctional (meth) acrylate compounds and polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate compounds, such as the above-mentioned polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer, polyfunctional (meth)acrylate oligomer, polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate monomer, and polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer. Including such a compound leads to the advantage that the crosslinking density after curing can be increased and the effect of increasing surface hardness can be enhanced.

The clear hard coating composition can be prepared in the same manner as the preparation of the hard coating composition for forming an antiglare layer.

The clear hard coat layer is formed by applying a clear hard coating composition onto a part of the antiglare hard coat layer. The method of applying the clear hard coating composition may be chosen appropriately according to the clear hard coating composition and the conditions of the applying process. The clear hard coating composition can be applied, for example, by an inkjet method using an inkjet device, a roller coating method, a wire bar coating method, an air knife coating method, a curtain coating method, a dip coating method, a gravure coating method or an extrusion coating method (U.S. Pat. No. 2,681,294). In one embodiment, an inkjet method as a method of applying the clear hard coating composition may be used, because a clear hard coat layer can be easily provided at a desired position on the antiglare hard coat layer.

In one embodiment, the clear hard coating composition may have a viscosity of 2 mPa·s to 2000 mPa·s at 20° C. The condition that the viscosity of the clear hard coating composition at 20° C. is within the above range has the advantage that the haze value in the part where the clear hard coat layer has been provided can be effectively reduced and controlled.

The viscosity of the clear hard coating composition at 20° C. can be measured with a B type viscometer (TVB-22L, produced by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.). Examples of the B type viscometer include TVB-22L (produced by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.).

The viscosity of the clear hard coating composition can be adjusted, for example, by changing the solid concentration of the coating composition using a diluting solvent.

In the optical laminated member of the present invention, the antiglare hard coat layer may have a surface free energy of 30 to 50 mN/m, and when the clear hard coating composition is dropped onto the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer, a contact angle of the droplets may be in the range of 5 to 75°.

The contact angle of a droplet when the clear hard coating composition is dropped onto the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer can be determined in accordance with JIS R3257. Specifically, a 2 μl droplet of a clear hard coating composition is dropped onto an antiglare hard coat layer horizontally placed. Next, the droplet of the clear hard coating composition is enlarged and photographed using a CCD camera from the horizontal direction (end-on) with respect to the antiglare hard coat layer surface, and the profile shape of the droplet is analyzed from the obtained image and a contact angle is calculated. Thus, the contact angle can be measured.

The condition that the surface free energy of the antiglare hard coat layer and the contact angle of the clear hard coating composition are within the above ranges has the advantage that when a clear hard coat layer is laminated on a part of the antiglare hard coat layer, a clear hard coat layer having a desired thickness can be conveniently formed at a desired position.

The optical laminated member of the present invention may have a color difference adjusting layer on the antiglare hard coat layer and the clear hard coat layer as required. Examples of the color difference adjusting layer include a low refractive index layer, a high refractive index layer, and a multilayer including a low refractive index layer and a high refractive index layer. The low refractive index layer may be a layer obtained by curing a coating composition containing a commonly used resin component (for example, the above-described radiation-curable component) and metal oxide particles. The high refractive index layer may be a layer obtained by curing a coating composition containing a commonly used resin component (for example, the above-described radiation-curable component) and metal fluoride particles. The overall thickness of the color difference adjusting layers may be 30 nm to 300 nm, and in one embodiment 50 nm to 200 nm. The color difference adjusting layer can be formed by applying the coating composition together with the coating composition for forming an antiglare layer, followed by curing.

Decorative Layer

In an optical laminated member of the present invention, the antiglare hard coat layer and the clear hard coat layer may be sequentially laminated on one side of the transparent polymer substrate, and a decorative layer may be laminated on the other side of the transparent polymer substrate. Such an optical laminated member having a decorative layer can be used, for example, as a laminated member for molding decoration.

FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an optical laminated member having a decorative layer. As schematically illustrated in FIG. 2, an antiglare hard coat layer 3 is laminated on one side of a transparent polymer substrate 5, and a clear hard coat layer 7 is laminated on a part of the antiglare hard coat layer 3. Then, a decorative layer 9 is laminated on the other side of the transparent polymer substrate 5.

FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of another embodiment of an optical laminated member having a decorative layer. In the embodiment schematically illustrated in FIG. 3, the clear hard coat layer 7 has a part where the thickness changes, that is, a thickness gradient part. In the thickness gradient part, the haze value changes gradually. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the thickness gradient part of the clear hard coat layer 7 is provided along the boundary of the decorative layer 9 so that the haze value can be gradually changed at the boundary of decoration.

The decorative layer is a layer that decorates a laminate film for molded decoration with patterns, characters, metallic luster or the like. Examples of such a decorative layer include a printed layer or a vapor-deposited layer. Both the printed layer and the vapor-deposited layer are layers for decoration. In the present invention, either one of the printed layer and the vapor-deposited layer may be provided as the decorative layer, or both the printed layer and the vapor-deposited layer may be provided. The printed layer may be a layer composed of a plurality of layers. From the viewpoint of the easiness of a working process and the like, the decorative layer may be a printed layer.

The printed layer is a layer that decorates the surface of a molding with patterns and/or characters, or the like. Examples of the printed layer include patterns composed of woody textures, stone-like textures, cloth-like textures, sand-like textures, geometrical figures, characters, and whole solid. As the material for the printed layer, a colored ink may be used which contains a pigment or dye with a suitable color as a coloring agent, and resins such as polyvinyl-based resins including vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate-based copolymer resins, polyamide-based resins, polyester-based resins, polyacrylic resins, polyurethane-based resins, polyvinyl acetal-based resins, polyester urethane-based resins, cellulose ester-based resins, alkyd resins, and chlorinated polyolefin-based resins as a binder. As the pigment of the ink to be used for the printed layer, for example, the following can be used. Ordinarily, as the pigment, azo pigments such as polyazo, organic pigments such as isoindolinone, or inorganic pigments such as titanium nickel antimony oxide can be used as a yellow pigment;

azo pigments such as polyazo, organic pigments such as quinacridone, or inorganic pigments such as iron red can be used as a red pigment; organic pigments such as phthalocyanine blue or inorganic pigments such as cobalt blue can be used as a blue pigment; organic pigments such as aniline black can be used as a black pigment; and inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide can be used as a white pigment.

As the dye of the ink to be used for the printed layer, various known dyes may be used to an extent not impairing the effect of the present invention. As the method of printing the ink, a known printing method such as an offset printing method, a gravure printing method and a screen printing method or a known coating method such as a roll coating method or a spray coating method can be used. In such an embodiment, when a low molecular weight crosslinking compound is not used, but a photocurable resin composition with a constitution where the polymers are crosslinked together is used as in the present invention, surface tackiness is not occurred, there is little trouble in the printing, and the yield is good.

The vapor-deposited layer can be formed by a vacuum vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, a plating method, or the like using at least one metal selected from the group comprising aluminum, nickel, gold, platinum, chromium, iron, copper, indium, tin, silver, titanium, lead, zinc, etc., or an alloy or compound thereof.

The thickness of the printed layer or the vapor-deposited layer for decoration can be suitably chosen by a method ordinarily used depending on the degree of extension at the time of molding such that a desired surface appearance of a molding can be obtained.

Optical Laminated Member

The optical laminated member of the present invention can be used as a member to be disposed in a display unit. Examples of the display include a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and a plasma display. In one embodiment that the optical laminated member of the present invention is disposed in a display unit, the optical laminated member in which the antiglare hard coat layer and the clear hard coat layer are sequentially laminated on one side of the transparent polymer substrate is arranged in such a manner, in addition,

the other side of the transparent polymer substrate or a decorative layer laminated on the other side of the transparent polymer substrate faces the surface of the display unit.

The optical laminated member of the present invention can be used, for example, as an optical laminated member for in-vehicle device touch panel displays.
